Safer Together
Safer Together
Safety sits at the heart of every lift, which is why our Safer Together campaign focuses on practical measures that protects the people carrying out lifting, rigging, and load‑monitoring work. Across the group, we’re highlighting solutions developed to address the real pressures operators face on site – from handling heavy rigging components to managing loads that behave unpredictably.
Each brand within our group – Modulift, Load Monitoring Systems, pewag and Aberdeen Web – contributes equipment with a clear, defined role in keeping lifts controlled and secure. Whether it’s reducing manual handling, replacing unsafe cutting methods, simplifying complex rigging, or providing dependable load data to avoid overloads, every solution plays its part. Combined with our specialist engineering capabilities, high‑performance slings, and advanced load monitoring technology, these products help create safer lifting environments from the ground up.

Reducing Manual Handling Risks
Lighter, faster, and easier lifting equipment that protects people.
Polyester Round Slings
Lifting with low manual handling risks.
Polyester round slings have been used for many years as a preference or alternative to wire rope slings, to reduce manual handling risks. Our tough sleeve round slings have a thicker outer sleeve with a tighter weave pattern, which makes them much more durable, and cut/abrasive resistant. This prolongs the life of the sling and reduced the risk of damage and premature failure, making for safer lifting operations.
Key safety benefits:
- Much lighter than wire rope slings
- Flexible and easier to handle
- Fast availability in the UK and worldwide
- Tough outer sleeve option
PLZW-R rapid
Fast, tool‑free lifting with built‑in protection features.
The PLZW‑R simplifies temporary lifting point installation – no tools required, making relocation of equipment around facilities more efficient. Operators can hand‑tighten, press to lock, and immediately confirm secure attachment with the visual indicator. The protective sleeve prevents surface damage, while rust‑resistant materials reduce risk of unexpected failure.
Ideal for machinery with no fixed lifting points, and for loads that require temporary lifting points. When used as a semi-permanent lifting point, the PLZW-R will still need torquing.
Key safety benefits:
- Zero tools required for temporary use – reduces manual handling
- Locking indicator ensures correct installation
- Rust‑resistant design for long-term safety
- Protective sleeve helps prevent load surface damage
Improving Safety During Heavy Rigging
Solutions that reduce time on the job and effort required during challenging lifts.
Trunnion Spreader Beam
Heavy lifting made safer, faster, and easier.
Ideal for very heavy lifts where rigging becomes time-consuming and physically demanding. The Trunnion Spreader Beam drastically reduces rigging time, removes the need for large shackles and slings, and lowers the risk of manual handling injuries.
Key safety benefits:
- Cuts rigging time significantly
- Less manual handling of heavy rigging components
- Optimised for challenging heavy-lift environments
Bolt Cutting & Chamfering Service
Safe bolt cutting — without compromising certification.
Traditional bolt cutting using manual tools or improvised methods can invalidate bolt certification and put operators at risk. The pewag Bolt Cutter ensures the integrity and certification of bolts after cutting, eliminating unsafe manual handling and preventing the need for non‑approved tools.
Key safety benefits:
- Maintains bolt certification status after cutting
- Removes hazardous edges from improvised cutting techniques
- Produces smooth chamfered finish
Enhancing Control Through Advanced Load Monitoring
Real‑time data and alerts that prevent overloads and unexpected incidents.
Load Pin Shackle
Accurate load monitoring in low‑headroom lifts.
Designed for high-capacity and low-headroom applications, this compact solution provides precise load data where a traditional load link may not fit. Built with a 5:1 safety factor and equipped with configurable alarms for approaching or reaching force limits.
Configurable alarms are available on all LMS devices, including Load Pin Shackle, Load Links, Load Pins and Compressive Load Cells.
Key safety benefits:
- Ideal for restricted headroom applications
- 5:1 safety factor for maximum confidence
- Audible/visual alarms for load limit approach & breach
Running Line Tensiometer (RLM)
Real-time monitoring in unpredictable conditions.
Used during cable-laying, tow-out operations, and subsea installations, the RLM tracks dynamic loads that can change unexpectedly. With a 5:1 safety factor and adjustable alarms, operators get real-time insights into tension levels before issues occur.
The RLM monitors tension, speed and pay-in/pay-out of winch rope.
Key safety benefits:
- Monitors unpredictable operational loads
- Can be configured to alarm at a specific speed or tension
- Increases safety and efficiency during winching operations
